A blog about photography and so much more.

The word Philadelphia comes from the combination of Greek words philos (meaning love) and adelphos (meaning brother). Hence The City of Brotherly Love.

I took advantage of the few hours before work the other other day to walk around center city and check it out. D300 in hand, I made my way to City Hall, LOVE Park, Comcast Center, etc. The thing I noticed most is that whenever I am in a city, I am always looking up. I just can’t help but be impressed by the collection of massive skyscrapers in every direction. They seem to almost become one with the sky above, rising to the very heavens. Cities offer a staggering reminder of how small we are in the world. I like to think that this reminder serves to inspire instead of intimidate.
